Ria Bosman (b. 1956, Beveren-Waas) is fascinated by colour and material. Her abstract oeuvre encompasses a wide range of works, including sketches and workbooks, works on paper, textile and object paintings, and monumental leather and textile structures. Her work lies at the interface between textile and painting, with a clear emphasis on the latter. A constant in her oeuvre is the systematic investigation of the effects of colour: on form, on other colours, on a variety of materials and on the surrounding space. Overwegingen is a publication by Posture Editions containing 75 works on paper. The drawings are like thought exercises, contemplative shifts, enigmatic rustlings, inner monologues, hesitant movements, whispers across fields of colour, rhythmic movements in the artist's studio. Some are preparations for her monumental fabrics, others are simply solf ge for the mind. All drawings in the book were painted between 2020 and 2025 with acrylic paint on drawing blocks. Marieke De Mar , winner of the Confituur book prize for her recent novel ?Ik ga naar de schapen?. Especially for the book, she is writing a short story inspired by Ria's drawing series. This book is published in the context of the exhibition ?OP HET RITME VAN DE STILTE? (23.03?-?09.06.2025) and realised with the support of Be-Part Platform for Contemporary Art Kortrijk & Waregem. Ria Bosman is represented by Tatjana Pieters Gallery.
